Back to original languageAbout Charles
Systems, networks, and security expert, with 10 years of experience in designing, deploying, and operating critical infrastructures for VSEs/SMEs, local authorities and public institutions (airports, hospitals, schools…) and high-end villas & hotels.
My expertise covers three areas:
🔐 Cybersecurity & Network
Secure infrastructures (core, distribution, access), FortiGate strategies (UTM, VPN), segmentation, hardening, audit.
⚙️ Infrastructure & Operations
Virtualization (VMware, Hyper-V), backup (Veeam), IP telephony (3CX), access control & video surveillance, monitoring (Zabbix).
🤖 Automation & AI Agents
I design n8n workflows and AI agents to industrialize operations: automated diagnostics orchestrating monitoring, logs, metrics, and firewall via the MCP protocol, and MCP servers exposing network equipment to read-only AI (AIOps). The goal is to reduce manual tasks and improve intervention reliability.
Rigorous, autonomous, and customer-focused. Let's discuss your needs.
